I had a pc with itunes installed, and i recently bought a mac. is there a way to transfer music from my pc to my mac besides saving on a seperate hard drive?

i had a dell pc and had itunes installed in my pc. i recently just bought a macbook pro. i want to know if there is a way, outside of just saving the music on a hard drive and uploading it to mac, to send it through my itunes account or something.

You can use the homes are feature butmi don't think you would get the transfer rate you would want.
You can also create a network between the two systems .
The fastest way I have found to move the library is to use an external drive.
I hope these options help!
If you have questions about any of them post it and the community can get you going

  • Hard drive on my MacBook, iTunes was not backed up. Purchases were recovered, but missing music is trapped on other devices (iPad, iPod & iPhone). Is there a way to transfer music from these devices (esp. iPhone & iPad) to MacBook?

    I had to replace my hard drive on my MacBook and iTunes was not backed up. All of our purchases were recovered, but we are missing music that we now have only on other devices (iPad, iPod and iPhone). Is there a way to recover music from these devices? Also, the missing music on the MacBook that is on the iPhone is greyed out so I can't play it. What's the deal? How can I change that?
    BTW- I am going to purchase an external hard drive to make sure this never happens again. I'm am also discovering other missing very valuable data. I'm considering investing in iMatch, too.

    Try PhoneView: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    iTunes Match is not a backup strategy. Do not rely upon it for disaster recovery. For that you need to use Time Machine or "clone" software.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer using itunes WITHOUT access to the old computer??

    Is there a way to transfer music already downloaded on my ipod to my new laptop, without having access to the original computer with itunes?? It is on my boyfriend's computer and we broke up - not a good option to ask him to use his computer...now I'm worried I won't get all my music back!

    Hi,
    I don't know if you can help me any further, but maybe you can direct me somewhere that will??
    I took your advice from above and went out and downloaded CopyTrans, paid the $20, downloaded everything - it worked beautifully!! Everything backed up and iTunes had all my songs.
    Then I guess I'm a huge idiot or just got overzealous, so I plugged in my iPhone, because I had a few purchases on there and thought I could everything in one place on iTunes. Something happened really BAD and all my songs on iTunes deleted and were replaced with the few that I had on my phone, plugged my iPod back in and somehow I must have clicked on the wrong thing and the iPod synced with the iPhone songs! I feel sick to my stomach!! Is everything gone???
    I did a "backup" in CopyTrans, but I have no idea where it was saved on my computer - when I go back into CopyTrans it acts like I need to pay again and doesn't show the backup file anywhere.
    Do you have any ideas or know where I can go for help - or is it a lost cause?

  • Is there a way to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    I recently had a nasty virus on my Sony Vaio and my hard drive had to be replaced. Although I had all of my pictures and documents backed up, the only places that I had my music (3,000 songs) was on my iTunes library and my iPhone 4. All of my music was gone when I got the new hard drive. The music that was on iTunes was from CD's that I borrowed from my friends and mixes that they gave me, so I can't transfer the purchases through my account. I have Windows 7 on my PC and the latest version of iTunes. I've been lazy and haven't updated the software on my iPhone since summer. If i update the software on my iPhone to IOS 5, is there a way to get the music from my iPhone back to my computer via iCloud, or is there another method that I can use?

    Google for software to extract the music from the iPhone.
    There is no supported way via iTunes to extract the media.
    Once you've rebuilt the library, BACK UP everything!

  • Is there a way to transfer music from ipod to itunes?

    I accidently deleted songs in library, but i still have it on the ipod...is there anyway i can get the songs back from my ipod to itunes?

    For windows only
    1) If Itunes is already installed disk use may need to enabled so you can see the Ipod in my computer. Itunes hides your ipod from windows otherwise.
    2) Make sure you can view hidden files. In MY computer go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.
    3) Windows should see the ipod and your music should be on your ipod in several hidden folders. To be safe I would copy it all to say your desktop.
    4) Install Itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and the Ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ (if you don't already have it installed)
    After that drag the copied folder to Itunes (drag and drop or in Itunes (File>add folder to library)
    You may need to authorise your new computer by playing it in the library first.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from the old iTunes to iPhone 5S?

    I am still using my old macbook, version 10.6.?? (forgotten), I don't intend to upgrade the OS X, since everything is working fine. So the iTunes in it is also the older version, since my software doesn't support the new version of iTunes. And thus, I can't get my music into the iPhone 5S that I've just bought. Any kind souls that can help me with this?

    Update to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.1.3.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from PC to IPad without using ITunes

    can I transfer music I already have on my PC windows 7 to my IPad without using Itunes on the PC? I cannot get it to download on my PC.

    Only if you are in a country where you can re-download your iTunes purchases on your iPad's iTunes, and if you've signed up for iTunes Match for the CDs that you've copied - otherwise you will need to go via iTunes on your computer.
    If you are having problems downloading iTunes on your computer then you could try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum and see if anybody there can help.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from touch to itunes?

    I just got a new laptop and I dont have any music on it yet so I wanted to transfer the music from my ipod touch to my itunes account on my new computer. Does anyone know of a way?

    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from iTunes, which is on my iPad, to my iPod nano?

    I was told I could use iCloud on my iPad to automatically transfer my music, but I have an iPod nano, and that won't work. And I only have my iPad, not a laptop or PC. 

    Not directly, no.  You can only really transfer via iCloud or iTunes.  Even then it isn't "transferring it" from iPad to the nano but in fact syncing the nano to the same iTunes library as used with the iPad, or downloading from iCloud to both devices (theoretically in this case).

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my computer

    Please let me know if this is possible. I really dont want to loose the music that I have purchased on my iPhone. Thank you!

    Yes, this is certainly possible. You can use iPhone Explorer and install it on your computer; it's free.

  • Any way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes

    I had to get new laptop and lost all my music from the iTunes I had on the previous lap top. Is there a way to transfer music from iPod to iTunes ?

    Or you can do it the cheap way...
    In the options screens, check "Enable Disk Use." Your ipod should then show up in your My Computer as a new drive.
    In My Computer, go to TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS...>View [tab] and under "Hidden files and folders," choose to "Show hidden files and folders"
    A new folder will pop up in My Computer's Ipod Drive letter called "Control" or something like that. You should be able to dig around in there and find a bunch of mp3s randomly named... Those represent your music files. Drag all the folders that have your music in it to the new computer's harddrive.
    Now go into iTunes, "add Folder to Library," Choose the folder that you drug from your iPod and iTunes will import all your music as if nothing happened. Synch it up and it will transfer all this "new music" to your iPod, replacing the old music with the "new" stuff. You'll see... It's like nothing ever happened.
    Please note that you'll lose your ratings and playlists... But honestly... Who cares??
    Happy transferring!
